| 2022-09-16 | Complaint | 13A.16.08.02B | Corrected |
| Findings: Complaint alleged there are times when classrooms are staffed with unqualified staff. During inspection today, LS observed staff in the infant room and the 3's room who have not been qualified by LS. The infant room staff member is definitely not qualified yet, but could qualify for a variance. The 3's teacher has a CDA and has worked in child care in another region, but does not have all the required qualification materials in her file for LS to evaluate today. Center plans to submit variance requests for these two staff members as written correction. Center is reminded that there should be qualified staff in all classrooms at all times unless there is a legitimate reason to have a substitute in place (staff illness, vacation, day off, etc). Director, BW, is substituting for toddler room teacher today. | |||
| 2022-09-16 | Complaint | 13A.16.08.03D(2)(b) | Corrected |
| Findings: Complaint alleged classrooms are often out of ratio. Complaint also alleged an aide was left alone to care for a group of 5 to 6 'toddlers'. LS discussed this allegation with IT teacher, GM, and Director, BW. Both stated there was a day when GM was standing in the doorway of the infant room and the office assisting the Office Manager with ProCare. GM stated she was still in the infant room while she was assisting the office mgr, and BW stated she was also in the office at the time and observed GM standing in the doorway, still in the infant room while assisting the office mgr. During inspection today, LS did observe one classroom, the 4's room, to be out of ratio for approximately 15 minutes. The aide left for school at approximately 10:10am, leaving the lead teacher, KR, alone with 14 children. GM, who was off today, was called in and arrived at approximately 10:25am. Another aide, who usually is in the room, arrived to take GM's place a short time later. This was corrected on site. No other rooms were out of ratio during the inspection. | |||
| 2022-09-16 | Complaint | 13A.16.11.03C | Corrected |
| Findings: LS discussed the allegations regarding the diapering procedure. Center staff did state that a barrier has not been put in place between the children and the changing table, as required by the OCC diapering procedure. Director stated there is 'doctor paper' for the tables in the center. This paper was added to all changing tables during inspection and observed by LS. Staff in both infant and toddler room state changing tables are cleaned with soap and water and disinfected with bleach and water. LS did not observe diapering during inspection, but could smell bleach in both rooms during inspection. | |||
| 2022-09-16 | Mandatory Review | 13A.16.03.05B | Corrected |
| Findings: None of the posted staffing patterns are current. Please update staffing patterns in all rooms and post. Send copies to LS for file. | |||
| 2022-09-16 | Mandatory Review | 13A.16.03.06A(2) | Corrected |
| Findings: There have been several employees who have left employment that OCC was not made aware of in the required 5 days. Center is reminded anytime a staff member leaves, written notification must be given to OCC within 5 days of the occurrence. Corrected. | |||
| 2022-09-16 | Mandatory Review | 13A.16.06.12B(1) | Corrected |
| Findings: Aide, LT, did not complete 4.5 hours of training for the 2020-2021 training cycle. Please have her complete this training asap. LT will need an additional 6 hours by 10-31-22 for the 2021-22 training cycle. Aide, MT, did not complete 3 hours of training for the 2020-21 training cycle. MT has completed 45 hours of training for the 2021-22 cycle, so LS will apply 3 of those hours to 2020-2021. Aide, VW, needs 1.5 hours of training asap to meet the 2021-2022 training cycle requirements. Please have these aides complete training and add to their files. Send copies to LS. | |||
| 2021-09-15 | Full | 13A.16.03.04C | Corrected |
| Findings: All (79) emergency forms were reviewed today. Most of the emergency forms need to be updated and several need a daily authorized pick up person and/or health care provider information added. Please review all emergency forms and make the corrections. Send corrections to LS. | |||
